    They're doing well.

    imo, the humidity isn't too high. They like it humid. It's only when there is bud large enough to rot do we need to be concerned about high RH%.

    Hi mate,
    High humid could be a problem in late flower as the canopy could double in size, (in the next 10 days(leaves) )and this would increase humidity.
    The plants are loving the humidity at the moment but let's see what happens.

    I think you was right about the humidity, TBH I have only just heard about vpd(last 6 months) and have been reading up on VPD as my plants look very healthy, here my, temps, humidity, vpd etc over the last week.

    The average VPD is 1.26 over the last week, looks like a good range going by the charts online.
    Any comments and suggestions would be great.

    Thanks

    It looks like the tomatoes agree.

    There loving it, 9cm pots, I could grow 11 x 15 (165 plants) every 3 weeks and sell them for £2 each (boot market)
    If I stop growing weed, 20 bulbs(260w, 12/12) would do the trick

    Update, the led panel is great but it would be an advantage to grow 4 plants and have 4 smaller leds, One led per plant(8 bulbs) so I can keep the led the right high above each plant.

    Each led will be 50cm x 30cm and here the first one fully built.

    Will be great for a 70cm x 50cm canopy and I can fix a fan or 2 in the center

    Just watched this video(migro), at last hes talking about distance from the canopy to the led, and larger the distance the less effective all leds are but the uniformity goes up, he's also dropping the par level, talking about 800 instead of 1,000.





    very good videos, I would like to see leds, 700 par with 100% uniformity @2ft (without co2)

    The value of uniform lighting is underestimated imo. I've done a lot of grows with 600w hps and parabolic reflectors. In theory, they give less light than a regular reflector as there is virtually no direct light hitting the plants. In practice, they work very well and can yield as good as any reflector. ok they're not a perfect parabola but it's the most even lighting possible with a single hid lamp.

    The Dutch market gardens, (lettuce etc.) had their multiple supplemental hids way up high. 35 foot high in some cases. Those guys have the costings down to fractions of a penny per thousand plants. If there was the tiniest bit more profit in having the lights lower, those lights would be lower.

    One of my customers asked me to design and build a shed for her Tortoise but wanted to use this 8ft x 6ft shed shed she found online (8ft x 6ft x 6ft(front) 5ft(back) )flat roof ( took 2 days from start to finish), the reason I bring this up is the end result looked like my shed, she even needs a fan and points to fix her heat lamps.
